Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your biscuits cook properly while the chicken and vegetables are grilling.
- Prepare the chicken breast by cutting it into 1-inch cubes. Place the cubed chicken in a bowl and add half of the barbecue sauce. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly and set aside to marinate for about 10 minutes.
- While the chicken is marinating, chop the bell pepper and onion into bite-sized pieces. These will add flavor and color to your kabobs.
- Open the can of refrigerated biscuits and separate them. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands or a rolling pin to make them easier to thread onto the skewers.
- Once the chicken has marinated, take your skewers and begin assembling the kabobs. Start with a piece of chicken, followed by a piece of bell pepper, then a piece of onion, and finally another piece of chicken. Repeat this pattern until the skewer is filled, leaving some space at the ends for handling.
- After assembling the kabobs, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. This will prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Brush the remaining barbecue sauce over the assembled kabobs for added flavor. Make sure to coat them evenly.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes. This will allow the chicken to cook through and the vegetables to soften.
- While the kabobs are baking, prepare the biscuits. Cut each flattened biscuit into quarters. You can also roll them into small balls if you prefer a different shape.
- After 15 minutes, remove the kabobs from the oven and carefully place the biscuit pieces around the kabobs on the baking sheet. This will allow the biscuits to bake alongside the chicken and vegetables.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Once done, remove the kabobs and biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. This will make them easier to handle.
- Serve the Chicken and Biscuit Kabobs warm, drizzling any remaining barbecue sauce over the top if desired. Enjoy your delicious meal!
Tips
- Marinate for Maximum Flavor: Let your chicken sit in the barbecue sauce for at least 10 minutes to ensure deep, rich flavor penetration.
- Skewer Symmetry: Alternate chicken, bell peppers, and onions for a balanced and visually appealing kabob.
- Biscuit Hack: Flatten your refrigerated biscuits slightly to make them easier to thread and cook more evenly.
- Even Cooking: Make sure your chicken pieces are roughly the same size to ensure uniform cooking.
- Sauce Secret: Reserve some extra barbecue sauce for drizzling just before serving to enhance the flavor and moisture.
- Baking Tip: Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
- Rest and Serve: Allow the kabobs to cool for a few minutes after baking to let the juices redistribute and make handling easier.
